Ten people were displaced from the motel and the Red Cross had been notified, a fire official said.

Cierra Wynn, of Riverdale, Georgia, had been at the hotel for two weeks. She is a dispatching secretary for A-Awesome Towing and Trucking, which is transporting Sandy-damaged cars for an insurance company.

Wynn said she had been sitting in the bar when she noticed people running outside. "I step out here and see the hotel is up in flames," she said.

"I'm cold and I have to stand outside," Wynn, 25, said. She has to work Saturday, she said, and hadn't been told where she'd be staying Friday night.
